Hydrolic Clutch - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

John Boothby · 01-28-2006

What would be the "TYPICAL" life expectancy of the hydraulic clutch system? ie. master and slave cylinder? Mine was last replaced about 2years and 8,000 miles ago. I am having a new master/slave/hose replaced Monday and I want to know how long I can expect it to last in normal city driving? I have a feeling that the last master cylinder was defective. It apparently has been leaking since I bought the car. I had been having to add fluid from time to time especially after a week or so of sitting. Just found the leak on the inside of the firewall. It was seeping behind the insulation and unnoticeable until I pulled the insulation back.
